"We won't run away from the ballot box or disregard democracy," said Devlet Bahceli, an Erdogan ally and leader of the nationalist party MHP, adding that the opposition was "obsessed and delusional" for criticising the government's earthquake response and for discussing the election timing.

In Syria, already shattered by more than a decade of war, most deaths have been in the northwest, where the United Nations said 4,525 people were killed. The area is controlled by insurgents at war with President Bashar al-Assad.
